The ABC's

I am in constant aw of Ethan. I know he is most likely doing the same thing as any of other 2 year old. But my aw is because I am not used to a toddler talking or singing his alphabet. Justin or Tyler did not speak until they were about 3-4 years old. Justin went through every test imaginable. They could not find a reason why he did not speak. He started to talk at 15 months old. But by the time he was 18 months old he lost every single word. I knew something was wrong. But I was told to wait and see. So I did. But he never got better. My mom and I took Justin to Kennedy Krieger here in Baltimore and I was told Justin would never speak and he was mentally challenge. I cried the whole way home. I was also told that if Tyler end up being like Justin that I should not have any more children. Tyler is exactly like Justin. There speech teacher tells me that there speech is a mirror image of each other. Justin was eventually diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech. Justin does very well now and Tyler is coming along slowly.

But anyway what I want to post was Ethan singing his alphabet. He also can count up to 13. That in itself is amazing to me and Kent. We are not used to such a little person doing all these things.

It is really dark. I can not get it any lighter. I wish I could. I hate my camera
